This is an issue to track a somewhat general goal to have the VMM in a state such that it can load and host a guest that is running a typical Linux distribution such as a Ubuntu or Debian (both headless and a GUI). So far all the work surrounding the VMM has been done on a minimal BusyBox system, which is fine for experimenting but it would be impressive (and probably useful for others) to have a full distribution working.
Intermediate steps will probably be something like:
Get headless Ubuntu/Debian running on QEMU
Get headless Ubuntu/Debian running on a hardware platform
Get graphical Ubuntu/Debian running on QEMU
Get graphical Ubuntu/Debian running on a hardware platform.
Once we have all of that working, we can then moving on to doing it efficiently.
